Growing up in Brazil, Orkut was as popular as Facebook is now; most people had an Orkut account.

Personally, I made a few new friends, connected with some high school colleagues and met a long term girlfriend.

I miss its simplicity. The lack of a news feed was a feature, not a bug.

Same here. I and roughly 100% of my college friends used Orkut.
